Thank you for sharing this. Buddhism has probably been the one "religion" (I feel like it is unfair to call it that) - containing a world view that somewhat agrees with I observe in objective reality - but it is a topic that I am not very widely read on. It's always been a nagging through in the back of my mind. I look forward to reading more from you on the topic once you've slept.
It is a thing, that afterall, comes increasingly rarely, so best to respond to its call when it whispers out :)
As far as I've been able to tell (and from what I've seen, it's only the surface), "original" Buddhism has a vision very similar to that of a materialist (in a good way), it doesn't aim for the "beyond", the future moment of your "soul", because it doesn't believe in a soul, it only believes in a re-organization of structures that can end up generating a succession of existences, it's complex and I'd better leave that for later when I study the subject more deeply haha.
Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting! I'll try to keep talking about it!
